President Trump’s National Security Adviser Michael Flynn offered his letter of resignation late Monday night.
It’s for the best, but just because he’s resigned doesn’t mean the story will go away. Quite the contrary. It’s raising even more questions. If the DOJ warned the White House about this last month, why didn’t they act on it then?
This turn of events has political nobodies feeling relevant again. Take, for instance, Evan McMullin– the failed third party #NeverTrump candidate who jumped in the race waaaaaaaaaaay too late.
However welcomed General Flynn's resignation is, remember that President Trump's Russia connections and intentions are still the real issue. https://t.co/1ngzYtOE8U

General Flynn's resignation is more a sign of deeper Russia-related issues in the Trump administration than it is a sign of reform.

Now is the time to keep pushing for an independent investigation into Russian interference in our election and Trump's ties to Moscow.

Sadly, White House is chock-full of conspiracy theorists, bigots & Russian stooges just like Mike Flynn. These are its defining qualities.

Republican leaders who cite Flynn's alleged lies to Pence as his primary offense are obscuring the real issue: White House ties to Moscow. https://t.co/SYfITSfZ7V

The WH ignored DOJ warnings and clearly has troubling ties to Moscow. Jason Chaffetz & Congressional Republicans are shirking their duties. https://t.co/WZ7SNVCqMp

There’s more where that came from.
Speaking of failed candidates, Hillary Clinton’s feeling relevant again and tried to throw some shade Flynn’s way.
Philippe's got his own way of saying things, but he has a point about the real consequences of fake news… https://t.co/a02sXiaHfp

Here’s the tweet she’s referring to (Reines is a former Clinton adviser, among other things):
Dear Mike Flynn & Mike Flynn Jr.,
What goes around COMETS around.
And given your pizza obsession…https://t.co/rmyO7wyJKX

Obviously, he’s referring to the stupid sex-trafficking “PizzaGate” thing, even though Michael Flynn Jr. tweeted specifically about it, not Gen. Flynn. And Flynn Jr. had “no involvement in the transition whatsoever.” Not to mention that Flynn’s resignation had nothing to do with that ridiculous controversy.
I wish Hillary Clinton would just fade into obscurity already.
